USB disk drive issue with V4 build 3540

I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Parallels V4 build 3450. I have a WD 300GB disk drive formatted using NTFS. I am trying to copy a VM from my MAC partition (over a SMB network) connection.

I was able to do this in version 3.0 of Parallels but the new V4 version seems to hang during a copy. I have tried using both the explorer and xcopy to do the copy.

How can i get this fixed?

 

Is it big file, or too many files?

 

No, i am trying to copy over a Parallels directory e.g. an old VM that i want to save. it hangs on small and large files the same. the directory that it is stoping on is the harddrive0

 

Antivirus on Windows side?

 

No, just Windows XP SP 3 real clean system with no AV or Windows Defender running

 

Try following
1. Enable Samba on Mac OS and Share folder where VM is located

2. Try to copy, check is that still hangs

 

nope still hangs. This worked just fine in V3

 

A bit more info, when it locks prl_vm_app is pegged at 100% cpu

 

OK guys, this not going anywhere. Now when i work for more than 1 hour in the VM it just hangs the complete VM.

 

If you cannot copy through Samba, it is something wrong in Windows, in this case nothing from Parallels is involved,
Please backup VM, and try Windows repair
